Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From reviews1 report

  • Fresh indexed manual gives Seagull ST6, 39mm, 11.7mm, Hardlex, steel bracelet and 100m claim; marketplace results conflict on case material, so do not assume this covers all versions.
